We did hire our own attorney and so far, we're very pleased with her candor and realism about what's going on.

Thanks all. Of course, her cw and I just spoke and she did tell me about the attorney and the CASA/GAL (in hypothetical "this is what happens to CHILDREN in care" vs. specifically about our ffd).

I'm very nervous. But I'm flying down for the hearing.

I'm grateful for this board for input.
